Note: Leonidas Christianson was married at the time of The Shift. His wife of nearly five years (pregnant at the time with their first child) was killed in a raid by marauders soon after the unexplained movement of Earth to its new solar system. He has a deep and visceral bitterness toward all of that faction. He is driven to develop the best and most powerful military systems for the Imperium as an act of revenge.
